Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The browser client forwards a local PeerTube access token, email, and username to a fixed external YakHub endpoint. This occurs by default for logged-in users when cloud history sync runs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T03:56:35.426Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T03:57:42.315Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 154 ms - **AI review time:** 66474 ms - **Total time:** 66889 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The browser client forwards a local PeerTube access token, email, and username to a fixed external YakHub endpoint. This occurs by default for logged-in users when cloud history sync runs. - **Trigger:** A logged-in user opens the full search interface or saves a recent search. - **Impact:** An external service can receive credentials intended for the local PeerTube instance and associated account identifiers. - **Evidence paths:** client.js, main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T03:57:42.315Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client creates authorization and identity headers from local storage and passes them to a fetch request for the external endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** The client takes the active PeerTube token from browser storage and sends it, with email and username, to a package-controlled external history service. The feature is active for logged-in users by default unless they previously set a disabling preference, and opening search invokes synchronization. Separately, the server component embeds administrator credentials to obtain a local API token. These behaviors create unauthorized credential exposure and privileged local API access. - **Rationale:** The package exports a local service credential to a fixed unrelated external recipient by default, which is concrete credential exfiltration. Embedded administrator credentials add a separate privileged-access concern. - **Network endpoints:** https://auth.yakhub.com.tr/api/yaktube/search-history, 127.0.0.1:9000 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package loads main.js and client.js as PeerTube entrypoints., The client reads a locally stored access token and adds it to an authorization header., That header is sent to a fixed external YakHub search-history endpoint., Sync is enabled by default for logged-in users unless they set a disabling preference., Opening the full search modal invokes the cloud-history sync., The server code contains fixed administrator credentials for local API token acquisition. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency is declared., The external request is tied to search-history functionality rather than an opaque downloaded payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to peertube-plugin-yaktube-ondemand@1.5.1. - Avoid installing peertube-plugin-yaktube-ondemand@1.5.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
